Congratulations on the FAO initiative!It is essential to strengthen the articulation of the FAO and the EU with the agencies operating on the ground, implementing territorial food systems, food education programmes and the fight against food insecurity. Association IN LOCO - Portugal

Please do send any questions you may have to the Q&A box, our experts are looking forward to answering your questions and interacting with you. :)

Mr Nouala - question from Maria José Tropa (from Value Chain Project - MOSAP II - CESO / IMVF)thank you very much for your intervention. I would like to know your opinion of the needs / improvements in terms of actions to be implemented in Farmer Field Schools in Africa, being able to improve their intervention in the multiple locations where they are installed and taking advantage of the synergies with international programs that are taking place in those same areas.

This question is being translated in English.

My question goes to the European Commission and the African Union. What will beneeded to give priority to territorial approaches in most projects linked to food systems inAfrica and other regions? How can FAO and the European Union achieve this priority?

Celso's Question

For Celso Garrido and other panelists interested in current challenges of SIDS, you can follow the FAO Brussels Dialogue in December 2020, with 6 Heads of Stated from ACP SIDS countries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD3kYbw9VE8

Celso's question is of big relevance also to the Caribbean. Small Island Developing States have very specific needs and climate crisis response challenges.

to Celso’s question, and how to increase role of food systems thinking in EU-Africa cooperation see the Report of TaskForce Rural Africa (i was member of): https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/food-farming-fisheries/farming/documents/report-tfra_mar2019_en.pdf + About how to use a Food System Approach (our Ecdpm guide to make it simpler and useful for practitioners): https://ecdpm.org/publications/food-systems-approach-in-practice-guide-sustainable-transformation/
